Recycled felt for Easter bunnies

I accindentally felted a pure wool sweater in the washing machine last november >____<

I'm not a perfect housewife!

My cozy and warm sweater became small, but it kept (and even increased) its softness. I've immediatly understood that this little accident gave me a new and beautiful material to work with. 

Recycling opportunity, yay! :)

 

So I saved the sweater for futire projects and last sunday I cut it to make...

 

... Easter bunnies!

 

 

Aren't their back-sides super sweet?

Ok, I'm showing their faces, too! :)

 

 

They are simple and stylized bunnies, with long ears, a crocheted heart (made by AuntFran) and embroidered face.

 

 

I love how pink and turquoise give life to beige felt and also how these colors make a nice mix with brown!

 

I think they are a funny couple! :)

 

While making them, I changed a bit the original design: I added a tail and replaced the belly with the crocheted hearts.

 

 

Turquoise rabbit's tail is a tiny pom pom!

 

I made them using the pattern I designed some years ago and you can make them, too, because they are a super simple project.

Save the pattern here!

 

If you like them, but have no time or sewing skills to make them... you can buy the bunnies in my shop.

I listed them in two different pages: pink rabbit and turquoise!
